3 Ways To Fight Acne with Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil has been praised for it’s antibacterial properties in fighting acne. Not only is it effective in treating mild to moderate acne, but it isn’t as irritating or drying to the skin in comparison with other active acne ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide. This natural alternative roll-on is fantastic for spot treatment of the hormonal kind or that pimple that likes to show up just before important events!

3 Tea Tree Oil Acne Remedies

Acne Roll On Spot Treatment

Jojoba, hemp seed and grapeseed oils are great carrier oil choices for fighting acne. They are non-greasy, anti-inflammatory, and oil regulating. Using a 5 or 10 ml roll on applicator, fill 3/4 of the way with your choice of carrier oil. Fill the remaining 1/4 with tea tree oil. Mix and roll on the next time you face a break out.

Tea Tree Acne Fighting Mask

Blend all ingredients well and apply to face with fingertips or facial brush. Leave on for 10-15 minutes. The aloe and cucumber will soothe inflamed skin while the cucumber seeds themselves are rich in potassium and vitamin E which help reduce blemishes.

I only use aloe vera gel with no any oil, just applying the gel as a face mask. It would be a lot better if I try using aloe vera gel with tea tree oil :) . This will be my first time making this DIY face mask. I am planning to make this recipe tonight. I have to try the two remaining recipes as well. Thanks for sharing. These are great ways to treat acne.

Tea tree oil is very strong in fighting against bacteria because it has strong antibacterials. To use it bare, you can plunge a cotton piece into the oil then place it on the affected skin. ITS VERY STRONG THOUGH – and I have sensitive skin. I like Tea Tree oil mixed in other products. Citrus Clear products use Tea Tree Oil, and I found that the Citrus Clear products worked better than just using plain tea tree oil. Especially cause my skin is so sensitive. No breakouts since I started that routine.

Tree tea oil is used by more and more people as a natural treatment against acne. With its strong bacteria fighting properties, non drying effect, and mild, gentle attributes, tea tree oil may just be the acne treatment you need.
